i'm trying to extract data from a json file received from a web.i used newtonsoft library
i'm using this code :
Dim JSONtxt As String = File.ReadAllText("c:\temp\prova.json")
Dim account As Person = Newtonsoft.Json.JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(Of Person)(JSONtxt)
the class is :
Public Class Person
Public Property validationType As String
Public Property lastName As String
Public Property firstName As String
End Class
unfortunately account does not get any value....
how can be ??
thanks for you help
this is my json :

I am having the weirdest of errors.
Dim lines As List(Of NewOrderCsv) = (From record In _records Where record.Ticket2 = orderHeaderRow.Ticket2)
Their error is happening here on my declaration of the lines object
For Each line As NewOrderCsv In lines

I am mostly a c# programer so forgive me if this is easy in vb.net
{"Unable to cast object of type
'WhereListIterator1[AveryIntegration.Common.CSV.Records.NewOrderCsv]'
to type

The class for the NewOrderCSV is a file helpers

My method was returning a single item I replaced the line with when it should been cast as a list cant believe I didn't see that.
Dim lines As List(Of NewOrderCsv) = (From record In _records Where record.Ticket2 = orderHeaderRow.Ticket2).ToList()
I want to use named error codes within my app. This should ensure, that every developer does not confuse numeric-only error codes with other codes, and also reduces the time a developer needs to realize what the error code should represent.
Compare this example:
Function New() As Integer
Return 0
End Function
with this example:
Function New() As Integer
Return ErrorCodes.ERROR_SUCCESS
End Function
Of course, I could let the developers write like the following:
Function New() As Integer
Return 0 ' ERROR_SUCCESS
End Function
However, the code above raises a pitfall when a developer updates the actual return code but forgets about the comment. Some developer look at the actual return code and some at the comment. I want to mitigate that confusion.
I come up the following class (extract):
Public Class ErrorCodes
Private msName As String = Nothing
Private miValue As Integer = 0
Public Shared ReadOnly ERROR_SUCCESS As ErrorCodes = New ErrorCodes("ERROR_SUCCESS", 0)
Private Sub New(ByVal psName As String, ByVal piValue As Integer)
msName = psName
miValue = piValue
End Sub
Public ReadOnly Property [Name] As String
Get
Return msName
End Get
End Property
Public ReadOnly Property [Value] As Integer
Get
Return miValue
End Get
End Property
Public Overrides Function ToString() As String
Return String.Format("[{0}]{1}", msName, miValue)
End Function
End Class
Now I want to use this ErrorCodes class like in the following example:
Function New() As Integer
Return ErrorCodes.ERROR_SUCCESS
End Function
As expected, I will produce an exception (type conversion) since the actual value I return is a instance of the class ErrorCodes instead of the generic data type Integer.
As you can see with the ToString() function, I let the class automatically/implicitly converts the instanced object into the generic data type String, when the class instance is assigned to a String typed variable.
Is there a way to do the same with the generic data type Integer like I did with ToString()?
I am using the .NET Framework 4.0, as for compatibility reasons with Windows XP SP3.
Another way to say what I want:
Dim stringVariable As String = ErrorCodes.ERROR_SUCCESS ' should be "[0]ERROR_SUCCESS".
Dim integerVariable As Integer = ErrorCodes.ERROR_SUCCESS ' should be 0.
I do not want to trigger implicit conversion warnings/errors, or to force the developer to typecast explicitly.
Yes you can do that with the use of Conversion Operators.
Here is the code:
Public Class Form1
Public Class ErrorCodes
Private msName As String = Nothing
Private miValue As Integer = 0
Public Shared Widening Operator CType(ByVal ec As ErrorCodes) As String
Return ec.ToString
End Operator
Public Shared Narrowing Operator CType(ByVal ec As ErrorCodes) As Integer
Return ec.Value
End Operator
Public Shared ReadOnly ERROR_SUCCESS As ErrorCodes = New ErrorCodes("ERROR_SUCCESS", 0)
Public Shared ReadOnly ERROR_FAILED As ErrorCodes = New ErrorCodes("ERROR_FAILED", 1)
Private Sub New(ByVal psName As String, ByVal piValue As Integer)
msName = psName
miValue = piValue
End Sub
Public ReadOnly Property [Name] As String
Get
Return msName
End Get
End Property
Public ReadOnly Property [Value] As Integer
Get
Return miValue
End Get
End Property
Public Overrides Function ToString() As String
Return String.Format("[{0}]{1}", msName, miValue)
End Function
End Class
Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim em As String = ErrorCodes.ERROR_SUCCESS
Dim ev As Integer = ErrorCodes.ERROR_SUCCESS
Dim mm As String = String.Format("String: {0}, Value: {1}", em, ev)
MsgBox(mm)
End Sub
End Class

Hope this helps.
This, as jmcilhinney pointed out, uses Enums and the Description attribute.
Here is the class
'requires
' Imports System.Reflection
' Imports System.ComponentModel
Public Class ErrorCodes
Public Enum ErrCode 'these are the error codes
'note that the codes should be unique
<Description("Success")> ERROR_SUCCESS = 0
<Description("Error A")> ERROR_A = 1
End Enum
Public Class InfoForErrCode
Public TheDescription As String
Public TheValue As Integer
Public AsString As String
End Class
Public Shared Function Info(TheError As ErrCode) As InfoForErrCode
Dim rv As New InfoForErrCode
rv.TheDescription = GetDescription(TheError)
rv.TheValue = TheError
rv.AsString = TheError.ToString
Return rv
End Function
Private Shared Function GetDescription(TheError As ErrCode) As String
Dim rv As String = ""
Dim fi As FieldInfo = TheError.GetType().GetField(TheError.ToString())
Dim attr() As DescriptionAttribute
attr = DirectCast(fi.GetCustomAttributes(GetType(DescriptionAttribute),
False), DescriptionAttribute())
If attr.Length > 0 Then
rv = attr(0).Description
Else
rv = TheError.ToString()
End If
Return rv
End Function
End Class
And here is how it can be used
Dim foo As ErrorCodes.ErrCode = ErrorCodes.ErrCode.ERROR_SUCCESS
Dim inf As ErrorCodes.InfoForErrCode = ErrorCodes.Info(foo)
Stop 'examine inf
foo = ErrorCodes.ErrCode.ERROR_A
inf = ErrorCodes.Info(foo)
Stop 'examine inf
I have written a class (containing only properties). The code is shortened, here is only the part of the code what I want to do:
Public Class test
Public Overrides Function ToString() As String
'Das Objekt lebensmittel serialisieren
Dim ser As New Xml.Serialization.XmlSerializer(Me.GetType)
Dim sw As New IO.StringWriter
ser.Serialize(sw, Me)
Return sw.tostring
End Function
Public Sub New()
End Sub
Public Sub New(ByVal t As String)
Dim deser As New Xml.Serialization.XmlSerializer(Me.GetType)
Dim ms As New IO.MemoryStream(System.Text.Encoding.Unicode.GetBytes(t))
Me = CType(deser.Deserialize(ms), test) 'This throws an error
End Sub
End Class
What I want to do is to overload the New() operator and deserialize the string to this class, like:
Dim x As New test(string)
How can I do this? The marked line throws an error in Sub New.
I'm using Entity Framework 6 , with Database First. The model is created using wizard from existing Sql server database.
I'm using this code to do a deep clone :

Dim tObj As Type = source.GetType
If (Not tObj.GetProperty("EntityKey") Is Nothing) Then
tObj.GetProperty("EntityKey").SetValue(source, Nothing, Nothing)
End If
If bCheckHierarchy Then
Dim PropertyList As List(Of PropertyInfo) = Enumerable.ToList(Of PropertyInfo)((From a In source.GetType.GetProperties

Now , I try to use this code like this :
Private Sub DoClone
Dim litm, newitm As MyObject
litm = context.MyObjects.FirstOrDefault
newitm = litm.Clone()
newitm.ClearEntityReference(True)
context.MyObjects.Add(newitm)
context.SaveChanges()
End Sub
I get an error :

Consider using a DataContractResolver or add any

by using the KnownTypeAttribute attribute or by adding them to the
